Azalea Gym

Azalea Gym

The Azalea Gym is crawling with Bug-types, so those who chose Cyndaquil will have an advantage here. Other Trainers will have to rely on their Flying-types, like Pidgey and Hoothoot, to get the job done. Rock-types also do well against the Bug-type, and that Onix you got back in Violet City can flatten these bugs without breaking a sweat.

Ilex Forest

Ilex Forest

Ilex Forest is a natural maze. The large, shadowy forest has become so overgrown in recent years that many young trees have taken root. One of these wayward trees blocks the path past the Ilex Shrine. Without HM01 (Cut), no one can reach the other side.

Rescue the Farfetch'd

Azalea's charcoal maker hasn't seen his apprentice since he went into the forest. You'll find him not far from the entrance, and it seems that the Farfetch'd that cuts down the trees for the charcoal maker has wandered off and gotten lost in the forest. It gets spooked easily, so you'll have to loop around behind it to chase it back to the apprentice. Don't forget to pick up the Revive nearby. Once it's rescued, the charcoal maker shows up and rewards you with HM01 (Cut)! If you return to the Charcoal Kiln in Azalea, the apprentice will give you a Charcoal as thanks.

The Green-haired Guy

In the center of the forest, east of the small pond, is a man who will give you TM02 (Headbutt). Headbutt is a strong attack that also has a helpful function outside of battle. If you have a Pokémon headbutt one of the small pine trees across the region, you may knock a Pokémon out of the tree. This is the only way to find Pokémon like Pineco, Heracross, and Aipom, so put it to good use!

The Scent of Battle

Inside the forest's northern gate is a woman behind the counter with her Butterfree. If you speak with her, she will give you TM12 (Sweet Scent). This move can be used in the field to lure wild Pokémon to you. It also lowers the opponent's evasion during battle.

Route 34

Route 34

Route 34 is a seaside route that connects Ilex Forest and Goldenrod City. The Pokémon Daycare is located here, which allows Trainers to leave their Pokémon to be raised by an elderly couple.

Pokémon Daycare

Any Pokémon left here will gain 1 experience point for every step you take. However, the Johto Daycare accepts up to two Pokémon to raise at once. If both a male and female are left together, you may return to discover that the old couple has found an egg. Keep the egg in your party like you did with Mr. Pokémon's Togepi, and it will hatch a little later. This is the only way to get more members of a certain species, like Eevee, and new baby Pokémon, like Pichu. If you don't have a compatible pair, than a shape-shifting Ditto makes a great substitute.

North of here is Johto's tech-mecca, Goldenrod City.
